How on earth do you pull that off? Here in Sunny California, the "FCC-Mandated 'Long Distance' access charge" is $3.50 alone. Then there is the four-something a month basic charge plus taxes. A friend who has some measured residence lines billed separately -- no feature (except TT) and no outgoing calls. The monthly bill comes to exactly $10.00. Looks like in Missouri you could get four lines for that! John Higdon | P. O. Box 7648 | +1 408 723 1395 john@bovine.ati.com | San Jose, CA 95150 | M o o !
